Wilkesboro had no inside pit wall or rail to separate crews from pit road. It was an extremely dangerous place for pit crews. NASCAR should have mandated protection for the crews, but a lot of "wink wink" went on by NASCAR at Wilkesboro for Big Bill France's former promotional partner, Enoch Staley and later son, Mike.
